About the album

Fandango - Inspiración: The Dance of Joy
Rich or poor, young or old, great or small – almost everyone in town knew at least the basic figures of this improvisational song and dance. It was danced in theaters and on the streets, from the taverns and dance halls to the palaces of nobles. The fandango, usually accompanied by a guitar and castanets, was and is fundamentally an expression of joie de vivre!

And - as many a prudish contemporary at the time lamented - it was also a dance of amorous pleasure: "Their bodies move to the cadences of the music, full of passionate excitement, with extremely voluptuous gestures, with stamping feet, glances, leaps, all the movements brimming with lascivious intentions", complained the Dean of Alicante in 1712. If that is not proof enough of the charms of the fandango, let it be noted that even Giacomo Casanova himself expressly described the fandango as "the most seductive and voluptuous dance in the world". And he should know...

FANDANGO – Inspiración

Getanzte Lebensfreude - eine leidenschaftliche musikalische Entdeckungsreise zu den Ursprüngen des fesselnden Tanzes „Fandango"

Ob arm oder reich, jung oder alt, groß oder klein: Fast jeder im Volke beherrschte die Grundfiguren
dieses improvisationsreichen Singtanzes, den man in Tanzakademien und Theatern ebenso tanzte
wie auf den Straßen der Städte, in Kneipen, Tanzsälen und in den Palästen der Oberschicht. Der
Fandango, Nationaltanz Spaniens im 18. Jahrhundert, üblicherweise besetzt mit Gitarre und
Kastagne􀀲en, war und ist einfach getanzte Lebensfreude!
Und — wie so manch prüderer Zeitgenosse damals leidvoll beklagte — auch getanzte
Liebesfreude: „Die Körper bewegen sich zum Klang der Kadenzen der Musik, mit aller
leidenschaftlichen Erregung, in extrem wollüstigen Bewegungen, mit Fußstampfen, Blicken,
Sprüngen, mit allen von lasziven Absichten strotzenden Figuren«, beschwerte sich etwa der Dekan
von Alicante im Jahr 1712. Und wem das noch nicht Beweis genug für die Reize des Fandangos ist,
dem sei verraten, dass selbst Giacomo Casanova den Fandango ausdrücklich als den
»verführerischsten und wollüs􀀟gsten Tanz der Welt“ bezeichnete. Und er sollte es ja wissen…

Concierto Ibérico

Ensemble Concierto Ibérico plays music from the Renaissance to the Romantic era on historical winds and “all kinds“ of period instruments. We aim to further the intercultural exchange between Spain and the rest of Europe that has existed since the mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century “Siglo de Oro“ – Spain’s Golden Age. Our understanding of intercultural influences goes beyond European borders to include connections between the Iberian peninsula and Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, allowing audiences to join us in a modern intercultural dialogue between the sounds of the past and the world of today.

Composer(s)

Luigi Boccherini

On the 28th of May, 2005, it was exactly 200 years ago that the Italian composer Luigi Boccherini died in Madrid (Spain was his second fatherland). While coming from the land of opera, perhaps ironically he became the most important 'Latin' composer in chamber music. His noble and intelligent style might be less sparkling than Haydn's or Mozart's, it is nonetheless characterised by a love for details. His 'invention' was the string quintet (two violins, viola and two cellos), of which he composed over 140. Besides that, he also composed about 100 string quartets, 60 string trios, cello concertos and symphonies.

Domenico Scarlatti

Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was an Italian composer who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. He is classified primarily as a Baroque composer chronologically, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers to transition into the Classical period. Like his renowned father Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known mainly for his 555 keyboard sonatas.
